In the original documentaries each sequences is commented and related to a special
context.
Here you can see the meaning of each sequences:
The first sequence shows one of the early design drafts from Mercedes which
was based on round forms.

Finally they came up with this very sharp and powerful design, expressed by
the rocky sequence.
This sequence symbolizes the approach of using wood as a volume and not as a
flat panel within the interior design.
Driving in a "moving fortress".
A stream of analysis data is created during the test drive.
These floating lines are the street map of the test drive course in Papenburg.
This sequence is presented in context with the importance of the wheels in car
design
